When Rafa benitez outraged about United and Sir Alex getting consideration from referees, Scolari joined him in it. Now what do they got to say about that ?

If you dont get called it makes it ok.<br>That said as a chelsea fan i was disgusted by that little stunt that captain caveman pulled. Chelsea should fine him and drop him for a game or two just to teach him a lesson. It makes the game and club look bad. Once they fine him they should then donate the same amount of money to some nice cause(preferably something benayoun endorses) so that at least it looks like chelsea wants to make amends. um technically feigning injury is also within the rules since you dont get called for it.

I can sympathize with Bosignwa's frustration, but he still deserved a red card and a suspension.

I reckon the ref just turned a blind eye to what was initially an act of poor sportsmanship. I think Arsenal must have started this as Kanu and then Henry were brilliant at holding that ball up near the flag and running off the clock. Its frustrating to watch when you need the ball back and Bosingwa did something that was a definite foul , and at least a yellow on any other part of the pitch but I think the ref (and other refs) tend to turn a blind<br>eye to the foul here.<br>Christ, its not like he kicked him hard, it was a shove with the boot - not the decapitation some people are making it out to be. It was a foul on a fella who was asking for it. Pah, i am no Chelsea fan but I sympathise with what Bosingwa did.

Otherwise he will report the incident to the Police citing Assault. Yossi should ask the FA to deal with this in a fair and appropriate manner.
